  • Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between internal control, economic policy uncertainty, and performance of cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) based on the panel data of Chinese listed firms. The authors expected that internal control has a positive moderating effect on the performance of cross-border M&A and that it mainly occurs during periods when economic policies are relatively stable. In addition, the authors tried to find out the mechanism of internal control affecting cross-border M&A and the corporate performance. Design/methodology - The authors tested the hypotheses by a multivariate regression model based on the panel data of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2017. The dependent variable is the change value of business performance (DROA_1,2,3) and the explanatory variables are cross-border M&A (MA), China's uncertainty of economic policy (EPU), and internal control level (IC) respectively. Findings - The authors find that internal control has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between cross-border M&A and corporate performance. Further, the authors find that the moderating effect is more significant in state-owned enterprises and that it mainly occurs during periods when economic policies are relatively stable. Originality/value - This paper is the leading study that tries to analyze empirically the relationship between internal control, economic policy uncertainty, and performance of cross-border M&A. It provides a new avenue through which internal control might reasonably mitigate the risks of cross-border M&A and correspondingly improve the performance of cross-border M&A. It also confirms the moderating effect of internal control on the performance of cross-border M&A under the uncertainty of economic policy.

  • Objectives: At the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some countries imposed entry bans against Chinese visitors. We sought to identify the effects of border shutdowns on the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: We used the synthetic control method to measure the effects of entry bans against Chinese visitors on the cumulative number of confirmed cases using World Health Organization situation reports as the data source. The synthetic control method constructs a synthetic country that did not shut down its borders, but is similar in all other aspects. Results: Six countries that shut down their borders were evaluated. For Australia, the effects of the policy began to appear 4 days after implementation, and the number of COVID-19 cases dropped by 94.4%. The border shutdown policy took around 13.2 days to show positive effects and lowered COVID-19 cases by 91.7% on average by the end of February. Conclusions: The border shutdowns in early February significantly reduced the spread of the virus. Our findings are informative for future planning of public health policies.

  • For the development of 100[W] stage lighting, quantitative and uniform color mixing that applied through color adopted Simple-Inverse matching so that color mixing can be possible along Black Body Locus. R,G,B(Red, Green, Blue) LED(Light Emitting Diode) arrangement through LED package character analysis, LED module, and the characteristic of device were considered for uniform color mixing. A distance changeable optical device was built to assure high uniformity and high diffusion of not only the middle of diffusion side but also the border side. Also, we developed the control power circuit that can expand up to 6 channels which are possible for quantitative color mixing, and the high uniformity and high quantified border light for color mixing control and the verification of color mixing characteristics by composing GUI(Graphical user interface) including color mixing simulator. By presenting the experimental results of light color control, we proved the usefulness of our developed border light and the proposed color mixing method.

  • 2001년 9월 11일 테러 이후 초국가적 범죄와 테러리즘의 증가로 인해 국경안보의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 통합적인 CIQ 역량강화가 요구되고 있다. 미국, 캐나다, 호주는 CIQ를 통합하여 여행자 물품 출입국통제 강화 및 공항만 육로 국경보안에 중점을 둔 국경안보 활동을 강화하고 있다. 미국은 2003년 국토안보부 산하에 관세국경관리청(CBP)을 신설하였다. 캐나다도 2003년 공공안전부 산하에 국경보안청(CBSA)을 창설하였다. 호주도 2015년 이민국경보호부(DIBP) 산하로 관세국경보호청을 통합하고, 국경수비대(ABF)를 신설하였다. 그러나 CIQ 업무별 분산된 국경관리체계를 운영하고 있는 한국은 공항만 육로 국경에서 발생하는 불법 출입국, 테러분자 입국, 밀수입, 마약 총기류 밀거래 등 복합적인 국경위협에 통합적으로 대응하기 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 유사성이 높은 세관 및 검역 업무부터 순차적으로 통합하고, 중장기적으로 관세청이 출입국관리 업무를 위임받아 CIQ 업무 전체를 통합하는 방안도 검토해볼 수 있다. 또는 미국, 캐나다, 호주의 CIQ 단일책임기관을 한국의 실정에 맞게 벤치마킹하여 새로운 통합국경안보조직을 신설하는 방안도 있다.

  • Objectives: In this paper, we aimed to investigate the evolving debate over border closure in Korea during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, to address the main themes associated with border closure, and to discuss the factors that need to be considered when making such decisions. Methods: We collated and reviewed previously conducted review studies on border closures during infectious disease outbreaks to derive relevant themes and factors. Results: According to our systematic review on border closures and travel restrictions, the effects of such containment efforts are limited. We suggest considering the following factors when determining whether to impose border closure measures: (1) disease characteristics, (2) timeliness of implementation, (3) transmission delay and the basic reproduction number, (4) globalization and pandemics, and (5) social and economic costs. Conclusions: Our assessment indicates that the effects of border closures are at best temporary and limited. Alternative measures must be contemplated and implemented to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in particular and infectious diseases more broadly.

  • 현재 세계 여러 나라는 GATS의 통신에 관한 예외규정에 입각하여 기간통신서비스의 국경간 공급을 반경쟁행위 통제, 국내 소비자 보호, 조세부과, 국가안보 등을 이유로 규제하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 통신서비스의 국경간 공급을 WTO 및 국내법의 규정을 통하여 부분적으로 규제를 시행하고 있으나, WTO 및 FTA 협상시 국경간 공급에 대한 규제완화를 요구받고 있다. 그러므로 규제에 대하여 실효성 파악하고 이에 대한 대응이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 주요국의 통신서비스의 국경간 공급 정책을 살펴보았다. 또한 주요국의 실제 규제 사례를 살펴봄으로써 우리나라의 국경간 공급 규제정책에 대한 시사점을 모색해 보았다.

  • IP 주소 공간의 부족 문제를 해결하기 위해 NAT(Network Address Translation) 기술을 활용할 수 있다. NAT의 주소 변환 테이블에 없는 바인딩과 관련된 패킷을 제거하는 필터링 특성 때문에 NAT Traversal 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 부가적인 장비를 활용한 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되었다. 최근의 네트워크 시장은 유선과 무선이 통합되는 형태로 발전하고 있으며, 이를 효과적으로 제어하기 위하여 IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem)라는 유무선 통합 제어 망이 등장하였다. IMS에서 IBCF(Interconnection Border Control Function)와 IBGF(Interconnection Border Gateway Function)라는 부가적인 장비를 이용하여 NAT Traversal 문제를 해결하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 P-CSCF(Proxy-Call Session Control Function)를 활용하여 부가적인 장비를 사용하지 않고 NAT Traversal 문제를 해결하는 방안을 제안한다.

  • This paper presents an overall image processing approach of defect inspection of patterned TFT-LCD panels for the real manufacturing process. A prototype of AOI(Automatic Optical Inspection) system which is composed of air floating stage and multi line scan cameras is developed. Adjacent pattern comparison algorithm is enhanced and used for pattern elimination to extract defects in the patterned image of TFT-LCD panels. New region merging algorithm which is based on border expansion is proposed to identify defects from the pattern eliminated defect image. Experimental results show that a developed AOI system has acceptable performance and the proposed algorithm reduces environmental effects and processing time effectively for applying to the real manufacturing process.

  • Due to the differences between and distinct consumer perceptions of domestic and cross-border e-commerce (CBEC), e-consumer misconduct, which we call "cunning behavior," has emerged. This study examines cunning behavior in CBEC and compares e-consumer perceptions about environmental factors and their own personal traits using a vignette experiment and survey. The vignettes of this study were developed for three situations: illegal, deviant, and unethical behavior. Drawing on vignettes, we collected survey data and then examined the research model using the analysis of moment structure statistical tool. The results show that perceived benefit and past experience with CBEC are strong triggers for cunning behavior, while the ability to exercise self-control restrains this behavior. This study provides an understanding of why cunning behavior occurs in the CBEC context and describes different cunning behavior types.
